Why Consider Migrating to Prophix Cloud
To stay innovative, competitive, and relevant in today’s market, an increasing number of organisations are turning to Cloud-based software for their digital transformation strategy. Cloud security standards allow companies to have the assurance of the integrity of their software. Additionally, the requirement for remote work has greatly accelerated the shift in migrating to easily accessible Cloud-based systems.
For many companies, there is a belief that Cloud solutions are easier and more accessible. While this is true, there are other elements of cloud technology that can benefit you and your organisation.
Here are some key drivers for other customers who migrated to Prophix Cloud:

Lower Cost of Ownership
Cloud software also allows for a lower total cost of ownership. The total cost of ownership is a financial estimate of all the costs, both upfront and hidden, that are associated with your software solution. These generally include:
-
Software licensing fee
-
Implementation costs (which includes training and customisation)
-
Operating costs for 3 to 5 years
For on-premises solutions, you will also need to factor in on-going costs, such as infrastructure expenses, on-going IT support, and yearly maintenance fees. For the total cost of ownership of Prophix Cloud, consider monthly or annual software fees and costs associated with additional users and storage. Your company should assess your total cost of ownership for each option and compare the two before your decision to migrate. Prophix Cloud is powered by AWS which offers:
-
31% average infrastructure cost savings vs on premises
-
62% more efficient IT infrastructure management vs on premises
